a list of crematorium/wife-chasing/gong regret/scum gong novels ft. some with misunderstandings! i wanted an angst tag but there isn't one ;; if you have any suggestions, i'd love to hear them in the comments! included are also some novels that aren't necessarily crematorium but may still make your heart hurt (in a good way) from the misunderstandings and relationships!... more>>

the wife-chasing novels follow a general pattern of: MC loves ML but ML treats MC badly and/or does not reciprocate > something happens to MC, such as death, amnesia, sickness, or he falls out of love with ML > ML belatedly realizes his feelings > ML tries to chase the MC and win him back

please do mind the tags of some of the novels, as some of them are BE! <<less

188 boys group is a famous group in the original novel circle of danmei. All the characters are from the works of BL writer Shui... more>> Qiancheng. Why 188? Because the average height of the gong(s) is 188CM. <<less

A lot of good dog blood is buried below the ratings bcos it's an unfortunate fact that a lot of NU users only rate novels according to fluff amount w/c made it harder for drama fans to look for good angst.  Common tropes: #wife/husband-chasing crematorium#angst #drama #torture #regret #character development #grovelling #(some)redemption  #(some)tragedy and other triggering issues. ... more>>

#REAL Crematorium. Just search around for full explanation but impt. point is: THEY ENDED UP WITH ANOTHER PERSON. For those who had a sadistic liking seeing a scum ML grovelling but still fail to take MC back, THIS IS FOR YOU.

 Warning: Most stories here are only for the strong-hearted. However, those I regard as "bad (or messily-written) dog blood" that I really cannot tolerate will not be included here  

I will indicate if it's bad ending. If it doesn't have the #BE tag, it's automatically a happy ending.
If you wanted to cleanse your tear duct every now and then, check the ones tagged with #tearjerker. You're welcome.

why do you even look for knife bro. treasure your life more. treasure your kokoro more. QAQ... more>>

Warning:
- I don't read BE (some might be BE-ish tho :haroldface:)
- I only add titles where I've experienced the knife, or know there would be knife for sure (ex: mudaoli's novel)
- degree of knife sharpness varies for each person. you might agree with this list, you might not. 
- I have low pain tolerance :haroldface: 

my scale of pain, ranged from 'not really hurts' to 'it haunts me every time I see kite': 
1-3: wooden rice spoon (getting hit by one hurts okay)
4-6: paper cut (hidden but suddenly you feel pain)
7-8: knife. be wary. 
9: you're almost ascending via 刀道
10: machete. you've already reached godhood of 刀道. congratulations.  <<less

As the title says. Short stories and novels that have an actual story, relatively interesting characters, and also smut to some extent. Quality of smut... more>> varies though. All are stories I've read (and mostly completed). For some of the titles the translation left out the smut - google raw title and you can find some sites which have it. Some authors like Ka Bi Qiu and Shui Qian Cheng also use AO3 (under pseudonyms) and Haitang /Longma (free but you need to register on the site) to upload smut chapters. Otherwise sites like shukuwang are a good source. <<less

fake, arranged, flash, forced, contract marriage. Marriage of Convenience, cohabitation, anything forced, etc I'm interested in or like

Not in order

⚠️ Please do check the tags before reading. <<less

I adore MLs who are a bit wrong in the head and crazy obsessed with the MC. They can be insane in general or insane for the MC, but more on the latter! They may or may not be manipulative in general or towards the MC. ... more>>

List contains both BG (MC is female x ML) or BL.Many of these have a period where ML was separated from the MC hehe. 

However note that the obsession and/or insanity of the MLs here are palatable. I'm a bit queasy with immoral/actually evil MCs and MLs and I tend to dislike them and the book even tho I know it's just fiction. So yeah, despite these guys being unhinged, they're not really evil and they won't abuse the MC.  <<less

Just some rebirth novels I find interesting. Feel free to leave suggestions!

REBIRTHHH, REBORN!, AND/OR. . REVENGE (wait, what?) or just live without regrets. . . OR LIVE WITH YOUR DYING WILL!!... more>>
